Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of stainless steel weighing 4.84g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the Nazi Party and his design for the coin was meant to symbolize the strength and unity of the German people under the Third Reich. The coin features an eagle holding a wreath with the number "1" in the center, surrounded by the words "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) and the year "1939". Despite its interesting history, the coin is not considered a rare or highly valuable collector's item, and its value is primarily historical and cultural rather than monetary.
